D is color, not clarity. I’m not a diamond expert, but for D color and VVS1-2 (or even better than that), you’re probably looking at $20k for 1.5ct, if not more. You can check out bluenile for pricing info.

@orangeuexcited: I mean this in a very nice way, but what makes you feel like you need a D color diamond? If you go down in color, you can get a fabulous stone for like 10K.

Are you particularly color sensitive? Have you tried on an “H” color stone for example and thought it was too yellow? Here is my solitaire for reference. It is an H color and lower clarity (SI2), but it is AMAZING!

@Miss Leopard: Your ring is absolutely beautiful!! I wanted to see what the price would be for an “out-of-reach” diamond. I am not particularly color sensitive, and think your stone is just stunning. But realistically, I will probably save money and choose a diamond that is within our price range.

@Miss Leopard: That is definitely more affordable! I do see a little bit of warmth in the stone you linked me to (James Allen)…maybe it’s the grey background offsetting a bit of yellow? Your stone doesn’t look yellow at all.
